That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

Great Film overall

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Not really that much to say about this one other than this movie about a cyborg (for lack of a better word) who goes AWOL and causes all sorts of trouble is not anything great but on the flip side it's not really too bad either. Perfectly suitable as either a flick you turn on for a rainy Sunday or even just as background noise while doing something else. It's not the type of film that you have to pay rapt attention to. The digital mans interactions with some local white trash is a highlight of the film. Forgettable, but still a solidly average popcorn flick.Eye Candy: Chase Masterson gets briefly topless My Grade: B-

This was my second Philip J. Roth picture in three days, after A.P.E.X., which was also his previous film to this one. Digital Man does some things better and some things worse, mostly it's just stolidly competent. The story boils down to the old saw of a crack military team attempting to take down a renegade robot, although there's context and a spot of complication wrapped around the basic events. Nothing too sophisticated but it at least provides a mild interest to sustain things, which comes in handy once the umpteenth round of gunfire and explosions get tiresome. Set on the outskirts of a desert town there's a feel of arid isolation here that works well as a backdrop and contrasts with the larger than life, bumptious characters, the setting and the more humorous than average writing as well as faint flashes of emotional connection or suspense are the biggest advantages here. Well, fans of explosions and ludicrous guns will be pleased by the frequent pyrotechnics and comically huge weaponry on display. The acting just about conveys the appropriate sense of battle hardened veterans, the anonymous likes of Ken Olandt, Kristen Dalton and Sherman Augustus fill their roles with a kind of solid bad-assery, though the main plaudits go to Don Swayze as a daft redneck and Adam Baldwin as a military bigwig. Swayze is fitfully amusing in his utterly clichéd role, while Baldwin has the right sort of brusque authority to convince. The titular digital man is played by Matthias Hues, he has nothing to do other than walk around slowly and look tough, this he does in fine fashion, being a pretty imposing sized guy. Oh, and there are little cameos for the quirky Clint Howard and scenery chewing favourite Susan Tyrell (Night Warning). All in all nothing to write home about performance wise but everyone is suitably committed. Like A.P.E.X. the one black character is an obnoxious caricature which is a bit sad, but I don't tend to look for sensitivity in these sorts of junk flicks anyhow. Broadly speaking this is worth watching if you go for this sort of low grade sci fi action, I suspect I would have liked it more had I seen it a decade or so back when I first caught sight of the video box in a local rental place but despite its problems I was still glad to finally see it. Occasionally decent in both action and effects, with amusing old school cheap cgi and one or two brief but neat robotic effects, there's just about enough to go on even though its never any great shakes. Worth a watch if nothing else is on and you like the genre

I've seen Digital man almost a decade ago when it came to video. My dad rented me this movie to watch over the weekend since he was leaving with my mom. I loved it so much that I've watched it five or six times in 48 hours !!!My memories of this movie are quite vague. I can't really remember the quality of the acting and script. But I definitely remember how scary Mathias Hues was as the killer robot. A team is sent in a small community somewhere out in the desert to terminate him but soon find out some of them are robots themselves. Woon and Jackson are two bad*ss soldiers who can't match Digital Man.I think I'll buy this movie in the near future since I can't find it at the video store anymore. I think fans of Terminator and Robocop would love this movie. It's the traditional "Shoot the bastard !!!" kind of flick with lots of action and sci-fi. I rate it 7/10. See it if you get the chance.

Digital Man is a very entertaining movie, with good acting, excellent photography and outstanding F/X. It does suffer from a mediocre script however. A very good, overall effort from a bunch of actors who fall into the category of "where have I seen them before?" A rating of 8 out of 10 was given.
